Fill in the blanks with the correct pronoun (who, that, which or nothing). For no relative pronoun, write "nothing".A: Where do you want to go to eat?B: Why don't we go to the place _______ we went to last week?
Correct Answer
that, That, nothing, Where, whereExplanation
B suggests going to the place "that" they went to last week. The word "that" is used as a relative pronoun to refer back to the place. The word "That" is capitalized as it is the beginning of a new sentence. The word "nothing" is used because there is no need for a relative pronoun in the third blank. The word "Where" is used to ask about the location of the place. The word "where" is used to ask about the location of the place again in the last blank.Rate this question:
